    Well..at least its not me....I have had difficulties, as you know, with getting around all this...then my computer went bererk..you must have thought I'd gone mad..and so did all my friends....what can I say...anyway, no wonder the administrator put a lock on me...I hope that's not
permanent...anyway..how is your investigation going?   I'm trying to find Richard Hankins wife Anne...
Anne who? As I said in my last message, I found one at Dormington, dont know if thats the one, but it is close to where they came from...only thing is the dates are out, but we all know that can happen...I had one rellie who was christened before she was born...if you took notice of the records... so, best of luck I say...to us..we need it all....
I hope Chillis received my thanks before things "cut out"for his part in information he gave us.. if not, hopefully he'll see this....
Well its 9.09am here..the day starts..and by the look at the weather report we are in for a warm week..mid 30's..Sydney had it 38d on Monday ( which is very rare for Sydney) 
Re John Hankins living at Hagley Hall...wasn't far wrong..he did, but not "The Hagley Hall" I'm still laughing at that...but there was one at Hagley in Lugwardine..Herefordshire.....but I dont think its there now... OK  thats it for now.. till more news comes in.......

Hi, I don't think the lock is a problem, otherwise we would not be talking now. Anyway, John Hankins my Great Grandfather, seems to have fingers in many pies. Political, Land,Law, Farming, Livestock, Masonry, NZ social development, wheeling and dealing. He was a clever man. I still can't find this Scotland connection though. Will keep looking. What did your Great Granny Alice get up to? She was his sister- it's in the genes.

It is very difficult to follow this thread and recent postings by you Dalek39 seem to be referring to different generations from that to which I referred in my Replies #56 and #58.

Anyway, before I give up this evening, I have just transcribed the Will of Richard HANKINS of Bartestree Court who died just after we'd found him in the 1841 census where William and Richard (both Independent) were listed in his household.

So, basically Richard left a lot of property dividing it between sons William (Barthlomew), Richard and John (husband of Hannah Maria).  Richard got land and premises in the occupation of John PITT in Weston Beggard and also cottages, land etc, in New Town, Yarkhill in the occupation of Thomas CORBETT.

John got all the messuages or tenements, land and premises that were on/in Hagley, Lugwardine 'bought and purchased by my brother, William' as well as getting premises situated at the Blackpole in Bartestree.

All other messuages or tenements, buildings, farms lands being in several townships including Mordiford and elsewhere in the county, etc.etc. went to William.

So, that's all for this evening.

Chillis, I too am finding thsi equally difficult to follow.I now have no idea which Richard, John and William you are referring to. I assume it is the Grandfather and Uncles of J H Hankins(Lawyer NZ) and Dalek 39's Great Grandmother; Alice, J H Hankins' sister?Sorry if I'm completely wrong and off pat.Direction required if this is so. Anyway, I have to say Thank you for your interest and efforts because they astound me. I hope your holiday is fun.

Chillis / Glamis.... to sort things out ...and I too get confused at times, as you both well know...but....
There was No 1..Richard Hankins (father of)
                           William Bartholomew......John...Richard...and Edward.....all born in Bartestree...
I know its difficult with all the names blending..but Richard (father) had the land in Hereford, from what I gather..and, as you said Chillis, left it to his sons.........
What happened to  Edward I dont know as yet....Richard stayed as a farmer and married Mary C Hankins..from Bromyard...
John Hankins who went to NZ.....with the whole family........his eldest son, John Herbert Hankins who was the lawyer....who had a son...John George Herbert Hankins.......that is where the confusion appears... They should have called each son..Tom Dick and Harry..would have made it a lot clearer....
I hope this has sorted things out....sorry Chillis if you were confused..but its not easy , with all the names being the same.....I'm sorry...blame the Hankins.....they started it....

Glamis...I noticed in your reply #64..you said that John Hankins was your Great Grandfather..Did you mean John the Lawyer,  John Herbert Hankins ??
How about...to stop all this confusion, we refer to the Hankins...as...Grandad Hankins (Richard)
                                                                                                            John..NZ
                                                                                                            John Herbert. Lawyer.
                                                                                                            John George..Accountant  ...instead of Hankins after each name....so then we know who we are talking about... with all the "Johns" no wonder we get confused.......just a thought....

Sorry Chillis...that you were confused...we all are....but thanks for all that info...great work..

[dalek39]

Glamis...dont know much about great grannie Hankins, except she was deserted by hubby with 7 kids...I believe John Lawyer helped her out somewhat....being his sister....all I have is one photo of her, with her daughter Florence Herbert..and she looked 85 in that..She died at 90..and is buried at Ruru Lawn cemetry in CH.CH. New Zealand..Will do some research on her when I get this lot sorted out..Our parents never said much about family in those days, as you know...left it all to us...but...its fun, apart from the confusion that goes with it...but, we'll manage that I'm sure....Its all good experience.....in sending some mad....including me...bye for now...

[Glamis]

Yes Dalek39, John Herbert Hankins (Lawyer) is my Great Grandfather, his son John George Herbert is my Grandfather who married Mary Olive Te Akau Hickson. Your poor Grannie Alice being left with 7 children to care for.
